The Berlin Wall is a massive connection to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cold Warâ&#x20AC;?. As tensions rise, the urge of
tearing the wall down builds. But why was the Berlin Wall put up in the first place?
The building of the wall was mainly because of the fact that East Berlin became under
the Communist power of Khrushchev. As the wall was being built U.S did not agree with the
building of it. United States put tanks against the wall declaring the wall be tear down. Soviets
had also set up tanks of the Eastern part of Berlin to have the wall stay up. If action were to take
place, the risk of war would be huge.
Communist and American tensions were so large that the smallest amount of damage
done by the U.S could have sparked a nuclear war. Looking back to those times from the Berlin
Wall makes me really reconsider what the action had happened. Soviets and U.S were just
instigators technically.

Not only was many of these topics racial filled, divided, but they were also family filled.
What is the one playland that is universally for families? You guessed it. Disneyland was the
answer.
Disneyland was created by Walt Disney. Originally Disneyland was suppose to be 8
acres of land next to Burbank studios. Disneyland would just be a place where him and his
family and employees to relax. Walt ended up getting 160 Acres in california near Santa Ana
Freeway. If Walt didn't like the design he would do it himself.
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was in the United States for a visit with President
Eisenhower and wanted to see Los Angeles and what it had in store. So Nikita wanted to go to
DisneyLand but when he went to get into DisneyLand he found out was not allowed to because
of the public safety he was furious. Nikita left LA the next morning.

Sputnik, or more known as the Soviets NASA. The competitiveness of the United States was
unbelieveable. If the United States nemesis is going to space, so will the U.S. Of course Sputnik
beat NASA in the developments and trials into space.
Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite to be sent into space was only about the size of a
basketball believe it or not. Weighed in at 183 Lbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Because of the Sputnik I being launched
many military developments were soon underway. Thus creating NASA and the battle to get the
first man into space.
NASA or more commonly recognized as the Space Act was ok'd by Congress.
NASA was practically created under the heat of the Space Race. The American public would
not let the Soviets progress in front of the U.S. It was an embarrassing move from the U.S that
the greatest enemy Spetnaz is more advanced.

The Bay of Pigs invasion was one of the most devastating invasions ever planned. The
U.S promised to bring in Air forces to solidify the operation. Cuban exiles and cuban Civilians
were apart of this plan. But as you know Bay of Pigs does not exactly work out.
U.S pulled out of the plan literally the day Bay of Pigs was in action. After that everything
involved fell apart. Cuban Civilians can Cuban Exiles were all the hope left to overthrow the
Communist Government held by Castro. Promises not only by U.S were not kept in this
invasion.
Cuban Civilians backed out as well leaving only the Cuban exiles. Castroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces were
too large for such an invasion by this small group of 1,400. It was similar to a massacre. Over
100 dead and 75% of the forces captured as P.O.Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The Bay of Pigs was an failure for an
uprising.
